The first day

Takeshiba

You can buy tickets on-site to take the high-speed jet from Takeshiba to Kozu Island. I suggest departing in the morning. This way, you can arrive at Kozushima by noon.

There's a small shop on the beach of Maehama Coast, and their hamburgers and cold udon noodles are incredibly delicious!!! Order a refreshing glass of chilled yuzu juice to beat the heat.

Feeling tired from the ride, we could still stop by the small shops on Kozu Island for some ice cream. Eating ice cream on a hot day is the best way to enjoy, so delightful!

You can also soak in hot springs on Kozu Island. After riding bicycles all day, we were so tired.
Finally, we could soak in the hot springs to relieve the soreness. The Kozu Island hot springs have both indoor and outdoor options.

The second day

Maehama Beach

Maehama Beach

Maehama Beach is a white sandy beach. You can play barefoot on the sandy beach, and the beautiful seascape makes you want to relax. Let's set aside all worries for now. If you prefer to avoid crowded tourist spots, you can choose Kozu Island in Tokyo. It's really worth a visit.

It's not a bad idea to take advantage of the holidays and travel abroad for a change of scenery.
